Since expertise can be developed through self-regulated learning (SRL), our paper seeks to explain the missing link between experience and entrepreneurial success. By drawing from advances in expert research and a social cognitive view of self-regulation, we develop a process oriented model of self-regulated entrepreneurial learning (SREL) in order to explain why expert entrepreneurs are better able to self-regulate and adapt their behavior during uncertainty (compared to novices and non-experts).

They do not investigate, however, the individual levels of the mentioned constructs before the beginning of the studies. This research was conducted at the University of St. Gallen/Switzerland.

Yet, there are students who have a high level of fear of failure in the study in spite of their high motivation and self-efficacy. A logistic regression shows that there is a significant effect of fear of failure on the probability of study success.

In consequence, it can be observed that the roles of program development and management are professionalized. In the proposed round table, we would like to discuss the role of educational developers to support this professionalization via measures of training and process support in the light of recent developments in Switzerland. Abstract Text: Professionalization of program development as an institutional responsibility In Switzerland, different developments in higher education have led to increased attention to the development and management of the study programs such as the Bologna process, an increasingly competitive environment, the tertiarisation of a number of professions formerly acquired through vocational education. Furthermore, the national qualification framework and in particular accreditation processes require HEI to demonstrate the effectiveness of their activities (e.g., Sursock & Smit, 2010). Many different actors have been involved in development processes on the program level but also within educational development units. However, so far a systematic discourse on key issues regarding the management and development of study programs is missing, not only in German-speaking Europe. The following main question will guide the round table session: How can educational development give vital impulses for program development? Our starting points are two approaches or frameworks from Swiss HEI: a) the definition of competencies for new program professionals at the Zurich University for Teacher Education and b) a process for the strategic development of didactically-aligned study programs at the University of St. Gallen. Framework 1: Competencies for program managers The experiences with a training program for study program managers at the Zurich University for Teacher Education are reported. Over a period of four years, a competency profile has been developed and refined. Insights into the challenges and struggles of this role were gained. Despite diverse job characteristics of program managers (often resulting from an institution-specific history), there is a common set of competencies necessary to successfully cope with organizational complexity such as role competency (Schein, 1992) and lateral leadership (Kühl et al., 2005). Framework 2: Towards a systematic development of study programs The second initiative concerns the strategic approach to program development implemented at the University of St. Gallen (Brahm & Jenert, 2013; Jenert, 2011). In this structured process, the program goes through four process steps: process initiation, program analysis, program development, evaluation of the process and results. A major challenge in this process is the role of program professionals. The goal is to establish them as change agents for a didactically-aligned study program. Outcome: Role of educational development After briefly introducing the two examples, the roles of program professionals and educational development in HEI will be discussed. The questions guiding the discussion will be: • How can program development be established as a continuing task, closely tied to quality development? • How can the competencies of program professionals be developed and the local capacity and ownership be strengthened? • How can educational development support program development and provide vital impulses? Audience Engagement. Depending on the number of participants, first the questions will be discussed in groups. To put the results of the discussion on record, it will be summarized and uploaded in our weblog for further discussion after the session.}}, author = {{Brahm, Taiga and Zellweger, Franziska and Jenert, Tobias and Thomann, Geri}}, keywords = {{curriculum development, study programs, Bologna, educational development, higher education}}, location = {{Stockholm}}, title = {{{Developing study programs as a continuous task-the role of educational developers}}}, year = {{2014}}, } @inproceedings{4472, abstract = {{Das erste Studienjahr wird als wesentlicher Übergang von der Schule in die Hochschule angesehen.

In diesem Zusammenhang werden ganz unterschiedliche Aspekte untersucht, z. B. die vorhandenen Lernkompetenzen oder das Zeitmanagement der Studierenden (Barron & D'Annunzio-Green, 2009), vorhandene Einführungsprogramme an Hochschulen (z.B. Gale & Parker, 2012) oder dem ‚student engagement‘ während des ersten Jahres (Krause & Coates, 2008). Obwohl die Motivation der Studierenden als starker Prädiktor für die Leistung angesehen wird (z. B. Busato, Prins, Elshouta, & Hamaker, 2000), wurde die Motivationsentwicklung im ersten Studienjahr bis dato nur selten betrachtet. Die vorliegende Mixed Methods-Studie setzt an dieser Forschungslücke an und untersucht die Entwicklung der Studienmotivation von Wirtschaftsstudierenden im Verlauf des ersten Studienjahres. Im Rahmen einer quantitativen Längsschnittuntersuchung mit drei Messzeitpunkten wird dabei die Motivationsentwicklung über die gesamte Studierendenpopulation hinweg erfasst.
